The activation phases of L-type currents evoked by test depolarizations from -50 mV to + 40 mV were fitted using Eq. 4 (see Materials and methods). Data are given as mean ± SEM, with the numbers in parentheses indicating the number of myotubes tested. The analysis of activation kinetics excluded cells in which tail current decay was obviously not monoexponential.

a

Significant differences among the three genotypes (P < 0.001, ANOVA).

b

P < 0.005, ANOVA.
